L. Marie Joseph is the author and founder of this financial blog. I am 36, married with a young child, living and working in Georgia. I live a very comfortable life. I’m also a part-time investor; the majority of my investments are in Mutual funds and ETFs. I invest in both domestic and global companies. I also hold a college degree in Business Administration.

Life is good, we earn more than we spend and we save for the future.

I spend most of my time finding new ways to maximize my income and increase our net worth.

The Best piece of advice I received: Always Pay Yourself First
If not you who will?

My goal is simple: to make money, whether it is blogging, contract work, or stock dividends. I’m always looking for multiple streams of income. I am an investor not a trader. I normally hold stocks for the long run. I hope to one day add businesses and/or hotels to my portfolio.

I plan to retire at 45 (from my 9-5). At 45, I should have enough non retirement savings to live off and also have a business up and running that will generate passive income. At 65, I will cash out my 401k and Roth. With the right education and disciple of money I am sure to get there.

One of my favorite PF Books: The Millionaire Next Door…it taught me the key to being rich is not acting like you’re rich.

My favorite quote:

Rich people plan for three generations;

Poor people plan for Saturday night

- Gloria Steinman

 

People I admire: Self-made millionaires, i.e. Mark Cuban, Robert Johnson.
